Conda config
The best conda config I have found : channels: - defaults - conda-forge create_default_packages: - pip - ipykernel - nb_conda_kernels ssl_verify: true You should save if in your home folder in .condarc file (crete it if you do not have one). To work with different conda kernels in Jupyter use: nb_conda_kernels and ipykernel Use: source activate myenv python -m ipykernel install --user --name myenv --display-name " Python (myenv) "
